Master/Slave

Post by Itasan » Mon Oct 10, 2005 7:14 am

I have learned that 'Master/Slave' was chosen to be
the most egregious example of political correctness in 2004
by the Global Language Monitor.
It seems it refers to the relation between the host computer
and the terminal computers.
I wonder what is the politically correct term for that.
Thank you.

I think you've answered your own question.
